INTRODUCTIONThere are many different functions and roles of law in the business society. When describing employment law, there is a broad area that governs how employers interact with their employees, former employees and applicants for employment. These laws and regulations are not meant to be described in a short paper. They are detailed laws that require application to an employee’s specific situation and should be discussed at length to ensure the correct interpretation of the regulation. As an office manager that was put in charge of the Human Resources department of my organization, I was thrust into a world of complex laws that took many hours to understand. To be given this type of “fight or flight” role in my company was stressful to say the least. Ensuring compliance with federal regulations regarding organizations such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or learning about COBRA laws should be administered by someone with many hours of training in employment law. To be thrust into the fire of this situation at my company was careless of the management and they were ripe for a possible lawsuit if an employee felt the regulations were out of compliance. It is for this reason that I chose to evaluate the website of the U.S. Department of Labor and the website of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. As an HR professional these websites are very helpful in outlining the laws and regulations that apply to each and every employee.

Website #1 – www.dol.govThis is an excellent website dedicated to ensuring that Human Resources professionals, employment attorneys, and of course, employees can find information about the laws and regulations that govern the employment world. The mission of the Department of Labor (DOL) in relation to employment law is as follows:

“In carrying out our mission, the Department administers a variety of Federal labor...

As a society we have many laws, and individuals departments that enforce those laws. There are criminal, civil, contract, family, constitutional, common, and labor laws, criminal law handles crime and civil law handles most of the other laws mention above. With labor laws handle by the U.S Department of Labor also known as DOL administers and enforces over 180 federal laws that are for just the workplace, and those laws are in place for the protection of employers and their employees (DOL, n.d.)
In any organization the HumanResource department has to perform and act under legal and safety laws as well as regulations requirements (Administrator, 2012). This is done to avoid any law suits against the organization, those that provide the laws and regulation are department of homeland security, US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the American with Disabilities Act of 1990, and of course the US department of Labor (Administrator, 2012). We have these laws to keep managers from termination a person’s employment without cause, from mistreatment of the employee, or not offering employment to a person just based on who they are (Administrator, 2012). HumanResource works by having managers to hire...

HumanResource Management
04/26/2014
HumanResourcesHumanresource management (HRM) entails the effective utilization of humanresources within an organization by managing people or employee-related activities. HRM is a comprehensive and strategic approach for managing employees and the work place environment and culture. The humanresource department plans, directs, and coordinates the administrative undertakings in an organization. The department also oversees the recruiting process that involves carrying out job analysis, advertises vacancies, screening or interviewing, hiring new staff, orientating, and offering training to job applicants.

Staffing Page 1
When we hear the word staffing, we normally think of temporary jobs or medical issues. Staffing can be an issue in all work forces. Many times employees are given third rate equipment and expected to do first rate work. This can be quite frustrating for employees. In this scenario we will examine the issues of the employees and how to achieve a better work force.
There are several ways to look at this scenario; the employees are having difficulty with the tones they are producing for the cell phones. There could be a training issue in that the employees are not sure of how to produce the correct sounds or it may be faulty equipment. Let’s take it as a training issue and view what can be done to resolve the issue. First this author would call the employees together and speak with them about the tones being returned, asking them if there is a problem with their equipment or what stumbling blocks are in their way. Many times this can open the door to bring issues employees are afraid to address to light and help the employees open up.
If this is a training issue then we can being a new training program or look into what issues in the training module...

Health Law: Regulation and Compliance
Healthcare has brought on rapid changes for all specialties, addressing proficiencies established by medical facilities in caring for increasingly complex patients in this changing environment. Employees are constantly confronted with legal and ethical dilemmas in clinical decision making; in addition those professionals need to be aware of the way in which the law regulates their professional careers. Legal and ethical issues have been an increased concern when having to produce important decision in their clinical careers. Furthermore, all healthcare professionals are individually accountable through the law to their patients (McHale & Tingle, 2009). Medical professionals can be sued directly by their patients due to their neglect making him or her responsible; furthermore government has been addressing many of the perceived needs of the employee by involving the employer through laws since 1964.
